In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Stillsong is a mysterious god undergoing a complex elemental transition. His symbol is a translucent, golden sphere of crystal.
Stillsong was first detailed in the book Monster Mythology (1992), including details about his priesthood. His role in the cosmology of the Planescape campaign setting was described in On Hallowed Ground (1996).
Stillsong manifests himself as a sphere of song some 40 feet in diameter that cannot be heard by those outside the sphere. Those within the radius hear an unearthly chorus of heart-rending beauty, which entrances them and stills all desire for conflict and violence. If he chooses, Stillsong may leave behind a globe of invulnerability, create magical hope, or bestow magical fear in those of evil hearts. Once per day, he can change key in order to temporarily stop time, or to sing a holy word as a mantra. He may also create food and water, or even a Mordenkainen's magnificent mansion, for those in need. He is often accompanied by 1-4 moon dogs. Stillsong sometimes comes to the aid of good creatures in peril, but does not have any offensive abilities, and ignores all attacks made against him.
For the most part, Stillsong's relationships are unknown. Many myths claim the lesser god Water Lion is ceaselessly roaming the Material Plane in search for a lost child or lost god who is his best friend, however, and those myths that place this lost one as Stillsong seem closest to the truth.
Stillsong seems to have some link to moon dogs, as well as the upper planar fish known as delphons or song sharks.
Stillsong wanders the Prime Material Plane. He is paralleled by similar manifestations of the same entity in the Upper Planes and the Elemental Plane of Air. In the Upper Planes, he generally stays near the banks of the River Oceanus, accompanied by delphons and moon dogs.
